About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel often, getting lost will help you find yourself!!!

ABOUT ME

In life, there are four important things: MUSIC, DREAMS, FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF COURSE!

If you happen to mix them, you will see universe expanding!

If you listen to music, then gently smile and realize you're surrounded by the people you love, then thats just it!

PHILOSOPHY

The only difference between a mad man and me, is that I'm not mad!
Salvador Dali

Without music, life would be a mistake.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's been a wonderful year, lot's of new friendships, lot's of memorable experiences and even more countless conversations of others perspective of the world during their stay here at my place!

I've only surfed one time in the last year, but it was and unbelievable experience with other CS'ers in the USA!

So I dare to say, I participate as a host to the world here in Medellin, and as a Colombian surfer in the world, sharing stories, experiences and interests with others

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started back at 2009, as a passive CS'er, then remade my profile three years and it's been going wild ever since...!!!

People from here n there coming to Medellin... and well, me trying to make plans on going everywhere else as well!

Couch Surfing turns us into citizens of the world by uniting us all in our differences!

Interests

I love the streets, the city, the roads, the mountain, the unstopable motion, the beat merging with your body and making you move, a good beer, silence, music, everyone's original soundtrack, more music, smileing and laughing until your cheeks feel sored, people, crouds, walking and therefore, discovering, getting lost (...will always help you find yourself), admiring the wonders of history (painted, sculpted, sang, interpreted, what ever the way possible)... these are few of the things I enjoy of life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2005, I made it to the summit of the Tolima snow mountain. From there I could listen to the nothingness of pure air, the eastern mountains took form and you could notice the capital city (Bogota) in the distance... I realized how little we are in that precise moment!

In January 2013 I went in a roadtrip to Cabo de la Vela, in the colombian Guajira. The bluest of all the caribean seas, the salty dry winds from the desert crashing in your face, the feeling of slowness, and the strength of the desolated sands...

In octuber 2013 my dream of going to a massive EDM festival was finally achieved... I made it to TOMORROWWORLD in Atlanta, where I had the best experience of all my life...then twiced that the following year again at TOMORROWWORLD 2014, and doubled what happened to be the Best trip I've ever taken so far!
